Vice or Vicko Adamović (Serbian Cyrillic: Вицко Адамовић; 1838 – 9 January 1919) was a pedagogue and historian from Dubrovnik.[1]

A native of Dubrovnik, Adamović studied natural science in Vienna. He researched the archives of Dubrovnik and wrote many monographs about Župa, Gruž and Rijeka Dubrovačka. Vicko was a contributing writer in journals Slovinac, Bratstvo, Dubrovnik, and Srđ as well as Italian publications.[2] In 1889 he founded the Provincial School Museum in Dubrovnik.

Adamović was among the leaders of the Serb-Catholic movement in Dubrovnik.[3]

He is best known for his comprehensive thesis on earthquakes in which he systematically studied earthquakes from Dubrovnik's past.[4]

Vicko is the father of Lujo Adamović (1864–1935), a well-known Serbian botanist.[5]
